AABB

Axis-Aligned Bounding Box.

Description

AABB consists of a position, a size, and several utility functions. It is typically used for fast overlap tests.

It uses floating-point coordinates. The 2D counterpart to AABB is Rect2.

Note: Unlike Rect2, AABB does not have a variant that uses integer coordinates.

Property Descriptions

Vector3 end = Vector3( 0, 0, 0 )

Ending corner. This is calculated as position + size. Setting this value will change the size.


Vector3 position = Vector3( 0, 0, 0 )

Beginning corner. Typically has values lower than end.


Vector3 size = Vector3( 0, 0, 0 )

Size from position to end. Typically, all components are positive.

If the size is negative, you can use abs to fix it.


Method Descriptions

AABB AABB ( Vector3 position, Vector3 size )

Constructs an AABB from a position and size.


AABB abs ( )

Returns an AABB with equivalent position and size, modified so that the most-negative corner is the origin and the size is positive.


bool encloses ( AABB with )

Returns true if this AABB completely encloses another one.


AABB expand ( Vector3 to_point )

Returns a copy of this AABB expanded to include a given point.

Example:

# position (-3, 2, 0), size (1, 1, 1)
var box = AABB(Vector3(-3, 2, 0), Vector3(1, 1, 1))
# position (-3, -1, 0), size (3, 4, 2), so we fit both the original AABB and Vector3(0, -1, 2)
var box2 = box.expand(Vector3(0, -1, 2))

float get_area ( )

Returns the volume of the AABB.


Vector3 get_center ( )

Returns the center of the AABB, which is equal to position + (size / 2).


Vector3 get_endpoint ( int idx )

Gets the position of the 8 endpoints of the AABB in space.


Vector3 get_longest_axis ( )

Returns the normalized longest axis of the AABB.


int get_longest_axis_index ( )

Returns the index of the longest axis of the AABB (according to Vector3's AXIS_* constants).


float get_longest_axis_size ( )

Returns the scalar length of the longest axis of the AABB.


Vector3 get_shortest_axis ( )

Returns the normalized shortest axis of the AABB.


int get_shortest_axis_index ( )

Returns the index of the shortest axis of the AABB (according to Vector3::AXIS* enum).


float get_shortest_axis_size ( )

Returns the scalar length of the shortest axis of the AABB.


Vector3 get_support ( Vector3 dir )

Returns the support point in a given direction. This is useful for collision detection algorithms.


AABB grow ( float by )

Returns a copy of the AABB grown a given amount of units towards all the sides.


bool has_no_area ( )

Returns true if the AABB is flat or empty.


bool has_no_surface ( )

Returns true if the AABB is empty.


bool has_point ( Vector3 point )

Returns true if the AABB contains a point.


AABB intersection ( AABB with )

Returns the intersection between two AABB. An empty AABB (size 0,0,0) is returned on failure.


bool intersects ( AABB with )

Returns true if the AABB overlaps with another.


bool intersects_plane ( Plane plane )

Returns true if the AABB is on both sides of a plane.


bool intersects_segment ( Vector3 from, Vector3 to )

Returns true if the AABB intersects the line segment between from and to.


bool is_equal_approx ( AABB aabb )

Returns true if this AABB and aabb are approximately equal, by calling @GDScript.is_equal_approx on each component.


AABB merge ( AABB with )

Returns a larger AABB that contains both this AABB and with.
